I mainly use LibreWolf, but I also have ungoogled-chromium and Basilisk. Maybe I'd use Pale Moon mainly if it supported Bitwarden or I'd switch to KeePassXC, but none of these things are possible right now.

So I use some browsers with javascript (JS) disabled. I use these when I search for something or to open random links e.g articles.
Here's the list:
-
Elza-browser This project is pretty neat. By default the browser is in private mode. Therefore, does not retain any browsing information. But lacks of some features tho.
-
Netsurf Very lightweight browser. Netsurf does not handle JS stuff very well. Therefore, work great when JS is disabled.
-
Palemoon Well Palemoon is a well known browser based of Firefox so not much to say about it.
However, im a Emacs user. Emacs is my window manager with EXWM Therefore, I use 80% of the time the Emacs built-in browser eww. Before It was w3m. These are text-based browsers.
When I need to log into some well-known websites e.g Reddit, Bank etc. I use the Brave-browser, Min-browser or Firefox . These browsers obviously run with JS enabled. I never log into Google stuff like YouTube and whatnot. But if I'd ,I'd be using something like the ungoogled-chromium just for Google stuff.
Now, I think you get the point. Use different browsers for specific stuff, hence the Chromium only for Google stuff. Use a browser with JS disabled when you don't know the website you're about to visit or if you do not need to log in.
Also, I don't use the browsers bookmarks. I use a .txt
file to save my bookmarks.
Other browsers that are worth noting:

I use Brave for the adblocker. Their new search engine seems to work alright, too. Before Brave, I used Firefox, but they're now ardent supporters of corporate censorship - I wouldn't trust them to protect my privacy.

I tried Brave, but not being able to put tabs on the bottom or using vertical tabs instead was a deal breaker.

GNU/Linux desktop
often use: Pale Moon, Firefox ESR, and Tor Browser
sometime use: SeaMonkey, EWW (Emacs Web Wowser)
I don't use Chromium. Because, it send a lot of fingerprint to connecting server. (Fingerprint check)
Tor Browser is easy to use for privacy.
Pale Moon and SeaMonkey is forked from Firefox. But, they are lightweighter than Firefox. I use uMatrix addon for privacy and paformance.
EWW is very lightweight. But, many website are designed for Chrome and Firefox. So, EWW can not show those website.
Andoid mobile
often use: Iceraven, and Fennec F-Droid 68.12
sometimes use: Tor Browser, and Bromite
Iceraven is:
- about:config support
- The ability to attempt to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla's Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries this AMO collection Most of them will not work, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in android-components, but you may attempt to install them. If you don't see an add-on you want, you can request it.
I have been using Firefox 68 too. Because, latest Firefox is very heavy.
Bromite setting is anti-fingerprinting.

Brave is absolute shit.

Almost all browsers are based on chrome or firefox. I think both could be better but I like firefox more.
